Pros

This company is truly ethical; it cares about it's employees. We have great perks, parties, locations, and workspaces. Everyone is friendly, including the very approachable executives and CEO (it's part of the culture). Criteo treats their employees like the adults that that are, with flexible schedules and a laid back dress code. I love coming to work here everyday.

Cons

They are in high growth mode, and this may mean that they execute certain projects/ideas prematurely. They still act like a startup in culture (which is great), but with process, that kind of speed can be difficult to maintain with a growing population.

Pros

* Great work atmosphere * Excellent benefits * Career opportunities * Mobility (how cool is to work in Sydney, Tokyo, Singapore or Paris for a while?) * You can really make a difference * Management cares about you * Some teams feel like family

Cons

Every family has issues :) so: * Cultural fit is a must - and might be a challenge to some. * Fast growing business means fast-paced work - again, not for the faint of heart.

Pros

It's French! The company was not founded in the US. It is therefore way more international and interconnected and culturally diverse than most other companies can even claim to be. This is a ridiculously excellent bonus. They also show respect and importance to offices in all regions. In the Palo Alto office, people work hard but are genuinely nice and helpful. You cohort with people cross-department. There is good food and a clean sink in the kitchen. People eat lunch together. Poker night, and of course in start-up culture fashion, there can be some alcohol in the fridge. That one fact is proof that adults are treated as adults. The location in Palo Alto is perfect (way better than the SF location). In Palo Alto, there is decent parking, te ability to get a parking permit for a garages and great places to eat at the end of the block.

Cons

Random shake-ups in management. In hindsight more visibility into why the changes happen - not just standard back-story during the announcement itself, would be helpful. Some of my fellow Americans has issues with HQ being in France such as time lag, or feeling a bit less important, having less say. While time lag causes issues in any company, the other stuff is American bias. Offices are worldwide, US can't be catered to

Hello - thank you so much for your feedback! Firstly, if you like our Palo Alto office now, can't wait what you'll have to say about the new one we're opening next year. We're excited to continue our growth and expansion in PA, for all the reasons you listed above! And we absolutely agree with you that our diversity and international-ness are some of our biggest virtues and what makes us unique. It adds so much richness and character to the company we are, and we hope to continue fostering that environment as we continue to grow. It's what makes us special. It's what makes us Criteo. Best, HR
